Let Me Drown

August 9, 2019

I'm Drowning In The Ocean And All I Wanna Do Is Rest

But When I Close My Eyes I Feel The Pain In My Chest

So I Flail And Kick And Scream For Help

"I'm Drowning! Somebody Please Help"

People Tried To Save My Life

But I Just Told Them I Was Fine

When I Took Somebody's Hand

And Let Them Lead Me To The Land

I Stared Into The Crashing Waves

And Wished I was Drowning Again.
